When the server was out of memory it crashed because of invalid memory access.
This patch adds detection for failed memory allocations and make the server
output a proper error message.
Options to mysqld were not processed correctly because switch statement
was missing some "break"s. CS adds them.
No test case; would require .opt file and server restart. Manually tested.
Our web server has been restructured several times, and references
to it in our source code has stayed the same. This patch from Paul
DuBois updates all URLs to modern semantics.
Add --skip-innodb-adaptive-hash-index option, which is a way to
work around the bug (by disabling the adaptive hash feature entirely).
This may be useful even once the bug is fixed, for benchmarking purposes.
There are some workloads for which the adaptive hash index is not effective.
make sure that if builder configured with a non-standard (!= 3306)
default TCP port that value actually gets used throughout. if they
didn't configure a value, assume "use a sensible default", which
will be read from /etc/services or, failing that, from the factory
default. That makes the order of preference
- command-line option
- my.cnf, where applicable
- $MYSQL_TCP_PORT environment variable
- /etc/services (unless configured --with-tcp-port)
- default port (--with-tcp-port=... or factory default)
The patch limits read_buffer_size and read_rnd_buffer_size by 2 GB on all platforms for the following reasons:
- I/O code in mysys, code in mf_iocache.c and in some storage engines do not currently work with sizes > 2 GB for those buffers
- even if the above had been fixed, Windows POSIX read() and write() calls are not 2GB-safe, so setting those buffer to sizes > 2GB would not work correctly on 64-bit Windows.
Problem: logging queries not using indexes we check a special flag which
is set only at the server startup and is not changing with a corresponding
server variable together.
Fix: check the variable value instead of the flag.
long shared-memory-base-names could overflow a static internal buffer
and thus crash mysqld and various clients. change both to dynamic
buffers, show everything but overflowing those buffers still works.
The test case for this would pretty much amount to
mysqld --shared-memory-base-name=HeyMrBaseNameXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --shared-memory=1 &
mysqladmin --no-defaults --shared-memory-base-name=HeyMrBaseNameXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX shutdown
Unfortunately, we can't just use an .opt file for the
server. The .opt file is used at start-up, before any
include in the actual test can tell mysqltest to skip
this one on non-Windows. As a result, such a test would
break on unices.
Fixing mysql-test-run.pl to export full path for master
and slave would enable us to start a server from within
the test which is ugly and, what's more, doesn't work as
the server blocks (mysqltest offers no fire-and-forget
fork-and-exec), and mysqladmin never gets run.
Making the test rpl_windows_shm or some such so we can
is beyond ugly. As is introducing another file-name based
special case (run "win*.test" only when on Windows). As is
(yuck) coding half the test into mtr (as in, having it
hand out a customized environment conductive to the shm-
thing on Win only).
Situation is exacerbated by the fact that .sh is not
necessary run as expected on Win.
In short, it's just not worth it. No test-case until we
have a new-and-improved test framework.
In many cases, binaries can no longer dump core after calling setuid().
Where the PR_SET_DUMPABLE macro is set, use the prctl() system call
to tell the kernel that it's allowed to dump the core of the server.
When a Windows console application that has an open console (e.g. mysqld-nt
started with the --console option) encounters certain type of errors
(like no floppy disk in a floppy drive) the OS will pop-up an
"abort/retry/ignore" dialog and block the application (depending on a
registry setting : see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/embedded/aa731206.aspx
for details).
Fixed by disabling the dialog popups for every error except a GPF and
alignment errors. This is safe to do as the actual error gets reported
(and handled) to mysqld.
- A race condition caused brief unavailablility when trying to acccess
a table.
- The unprotected variable 'grant_option' wasn't intended to alternate
during normal execution. Variable initialization moved to grant_init
a lines responsible for the alternation are removed.
When storing a large number to a FLOAT or DOUBLE field with fixed length, it could be incorrectly truncated if the field's length was greater than 31.
This patch also does some code cleanups to be able to reuse code which is common between Field_float::store() and Field_double::store().
On some Linux distributions with both LinuxThreads and NPTL glibc versions available, statically built binaries can crash, because linker defaults to LinuxThreads when linking statically, but calls to external libraries (like libnss) are resolved to NPTL versions.
Since there is nothing we can do in the code to work that around, just give user an advice on how to fix that, if a crash happened on such a binary/OS combination.
Command line and configuration file option 'key_cache_block_size'
was reduced by MALLOC_OVERHEAD (8 in a production server, 36 in a
debug server) from the user supplied value and restricted it to
the greatest multiple of 512 less or equal to the reduced value.
This patch changes option 'key_cache_block_size' to not deduce
MALLOC_OVERHEAD from the input value. However, the restriction
to a multiple of 512 is still done.
